The CEO of the Toronto Transit Commission has publicly promised to struggle for “strengthening” the policy of TTC, referring to the queries regarding the incident of two preoccupied buses being diverted from standard routes by police for sheltering members of a high-school football team coached by Mayor Rob Ford.
CEO Andy Byford made the promise in an e-mail addressed to all councillors overseeing the commission. He indicated that such incidents are directly damaging the reputation of public transit in Toronto. Byford wrote that “I am not happy about that and I am certainly not happy that fare-paying customers were inconvenienced under these circumstances.” An official statement of TTC also mentioned that they are attempting to explain the incident of agency’s re-directing buses to the west-end highschool, at the time of a game between Mr. Ford’s Don Bosco Eagles and Henry Carr C atholic School.
At the time of the match, the security protocol included eight police officers, along with two officers, already stationed at the school. Backup was also sent out to the field soon after the report of a verbal argument between the referee and coach of Henry Carr. The Toronto Catholic District School Board was asked by the police to urgently bring buses for sheltering Mr. Ford’s Don Bosco players but since the school buses were scheduled to drive them back later, they were not available for the next 45 minutes.
In the email Byford claims that “for the record: I had no idea that two buses were used nor that customers were inconvenienced.”
